Some black soot is normal. Especially in areas of cold weather. No need
to worry unless there are other symptoms.

Subject: Black carbon buildup on tail pipe after valve adjustments

85 1.9 cleaned injectors from cruzin, plugs, dist, rotor done 10mths ago
I just adjusted my valves a few weeks ago
I am no noticing black carbon build up on the tail pipe

Is the incomplete combustion some else need tuning ?
